Leslie Hudson-Tolles may be calling her one-day exhibition at Koenig FrameWorks âA Farewell,â but the special appearance by the artist is also a beginning. While Ms Hudson-Tolles and her family may be moving out of Newtown shortly, the Saturday, June 10 event at the framing shop and gallery at 97 South Main Street will also be the beginning of the first time her works will be carried by a gallery. Koenig FrameWorks will present approximately 100 original and limited edition works by Ms Hudson-Tolles next weekend, and the artist has promised to remarquÃ© any of the prints visitors purchase that afternoon. The reception will run from noon to 4 pm on June 10. The gallery will then maintain an inventory of Ms Hudson-Tollesâs artwork. Standing with just a few of the pieces that will be on view next weekend are, from left, the artist; Alegre Poniros, gallery manager and the framing designer for much of Ms Hudson-Tollesâ work; and gallery owner Caspar Sabatino.Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â âBee Photo, Hicks

Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US

I want to clarify something that was not clear in my letter. Newtown DOES have an affordable housing plan, put together with the aid of the Council of Governments (COG) in 2022 and approved by the LC that year. The strategies in that plan are to "encourage", "support", "explore", "promote" various aspects of state and local affordable housing programs. Those strategies are largely repeated in the Housing Chapter of the Plan of Conservation and Development being finalized now. Newtown needs to measure its performance against those strategies and refine them to reflect the current situation and evaluate whether we are eligible for a moratorium on 8-30(g) projects if we have met the criteria. It's a question of being more specific and more rigorous in what we as a community would like to see to address this real and serious need, rather than to be on our heels when a developer proposes a project on their terms. An independent look outside the application process would be best for that. Thank you. Peter.

Discusses Affordable Housing

I on Glover Ave. walk my two Labs every morning and evening. Drivers are constantly cutting me off at the shopping center entrance and other driveways. There is no understanding of pedestrians rights. Drives make left turns onto Queen when its forbidden. Most cars cruse right thru the crosswalks without stopping for pedestrians. The Police have not issued one citation nor even a warming for crosswalk violations. The situation is out of control and now a loved resident, Pete, and a pet, Coby have been killed. Time for a plan. The problem is not Intersections, nor traffic, the problem 98s drivers and lack of enforcement. The plan need to create a culture that drivers obey speed limits and honor pedestrians right of ways. Isn't that the job of the Police Department and The Police Commission, to protect Newtowns citizens. This is a call to action.

Its already too late, the Nimby mob have scared developers so that their only option is to use the state wide 8-30 exemption to get around the local zoning board. Thanks Nimby mob.
